Tim creates landscapes, figures & and portraits and is inspired by all the drawing materials he finds in and outside art supply stores. A graduate of OCAD, he has had several solo shows of watercolours, oils and pastels.

Inks have been an important part of his art practice from a young age. Growing up with a family of artists meant art materials were around and available. Ballpoint was his first medium of choice. Whether writing or drawing, it was all the same. He loved those inky blue Bic lines that smeared beneath his left drawing hand. Later, he gravitated towards pen and ink due his lifelong sketchbook practice. Tim loves drawing people in the coffee shop on the subway. Artists like Ronald Searle and the illustrator Alan E. Cober inspired him. He started with the old Rapidographs that always clogged and moved on to fountain pens with his first Waterman, a Phileas. He was hooked. After that came many sketchbooks and the holy grail to find the perfect pen. he never did, but along the way, he found many That he loved. To him, pen and ink and portraits are the perfect marriage. The pen creates expressive and descriptive lines that can say everything about the face.
